~My Favorite French Garden Books and Simple & Sweet Fridays #233~

I wanted to share with you this week,
 two of my favorite 
~French Garden Books~
These books have inspired me to take photographs
of our garden and cook recipes using our garden's produce.
Kitchen Gardens of France
by
Louisa Jones
Here are some photos from the book.

















I love each garden.
~Potager~ 
Fresh Garden Cooking in the French Style
by 
Georgeanne Brennan
Foreword by Alice Waters
This book has inspiring garden photos and delicious recipes!









I love reading these books and dreaming of the 
beautiful gardens of France!
You can find both books on Amazon!
~Our Potager Garden Stew~
We made a quick lunch from our garden vegetables;
zucchini, tomatoes, spinach and onion.
We added ground beef and parmesan cheese.
~Garden to Table~

    Jody and Stan,
    One amazing book, dear friends!
    If it weren't so~o~o arid here on the Prairie, I might try my hand at vegetable Gardening, once again. "Mr. Ed" and I do well with the Herbs and Roses, so I guess we'll stick to that.
    Thank you for hosting Simple And Sweet Fridays! each week!
    Fondly,
    Pat

    I'd constantly be looking through those beautiful books! And then I'd book a flight to France! Lovely photos, and great features! I only get one hummingbird at a time at my feeder - that photo is fabulous!

    Oh those books are amazing - I LOVE those kinds of "coffee table" books. One can really not have enough of them, that's for sure! Thank you for the party - your features are amazing.

    I love the Potager style garden!! It is my favorite. I grew some of these French pumpkins you have pictured here and it has been so wet here the stems rotted and it died. THey were beautiful plants I even had baby pumpkins on them. I still have seed for next year. Thanks for hosting!
